Description

This is an arrangement of relaxing Spa Music from NZ artists Ross Hill and Nicole Leonard.

Ross started playing guitar in 1977, at the age 16. During the first ten years of playing he experimented with a wide range of influences and styles. These included school rock bands, classical guitar tuition, a song writing partnership with Auckland songstress Karen Hunter, instrumental composition, and a jazz guitar duo.

He then decided to embark on a serious study of classical guitar, studying, arranging and composition with Auckland teacher Barry McLaren and also with Gunter Herbig, then head of classical guitar at Auckland University. During these years Ross enjoyed a range of music, finding he had an affinity with Renaissance, Spanish and Middle Eastern music. Using what he had learned, he started seriously developing his own compositions in 1986.

This led to the release of his first CD, Atmospheric, in 1997, an EP-length recording of original material performed on solo guitar. Three years later, in 2000, came Origins, another EP-length CD of original compositions, with Nicole Leonard adding keyboards, percussion and woodwinds.

In 2006 Attar Music released The Garden, a full-length album that Ross considers contains his best compositions. The strongest pieces of the two EPs have been included, as well as a number of new compositions. The selection has been made to display to range of his music skills and interests.

Ross currently supports himself and his family by teaching guitar out of his home studio in Auckland.
